Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Assay was carried out as described by Ames et al. with some modifications. Chemicals freshly dissolved in 100 ul of DMSO were pre-incubated at 37°C for 20 min with 0.5 ml of S-9 mix or 0.5 ml of 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and 0.1 ml of bacterial culture. Two ml of molten soft agar at 45°C were added, and the resulting mixture was poured over 25 ml of minimal-glucose agar containing 0.1 umol of L-histidine and 0.1 umol of biotin. After 2-day incubation, colonies of histidine prototroph were counted as revertants.
